Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornstarch
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 4 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into long, even strips, about 1 inch wide.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoons of paprika, and 0.5 teaspoons of cayenne pepper to the mixture. Submerge the chicken strips into the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum tenderness).

Step 3

In another large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, remaining salt, ground black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Remove the marinated chicken strips from the buttermilk mixture. Allow any excess liquid to drain off before dredging them in the seasoned flour mixture.

Step 6

Press the flour mixture firmly onto the chicken strips to create a thick, even coating. Repeat for all the strips and set them aside on a clean plate.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 6-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken strips from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the hot and spicy crispy chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
